Good Funeral Awards

Good Funeral Awards is now something of an institution in the UK.

Final Fling won the award for Most Outstanding Contribution to Understanding Death in our first year of operation, 2012 – a lovely start and a great opportunity to meet some of the wonderful people keen to make life and death transitions as painless as possible. (We’ve been nominated every year since but can’t seem to tip the balance into a win again… the gift of the newcomer.)

Funeral industry awards categories

For people who don’t think of death as a job or the area as an industry, it might seem a bit bald and shocking to find there’s a competitive spirit out there to do the best and win. But of course there is. Why not? It’s our Oscars.

There are 24 categories, just like in Hollywood and the awards are well coveted.

Some of the categories are:

Most Significant Contribution to the Understanding of Death (the one we go for)

Final Fling is for people who like to be in control of life and death decisions. Know your options. Make choices. Leave instructions. Stay in charge. Right till the end. And meantime, live life to the full.
